This is the end, beautiful friend.
This is the end, my only friend, the end.

Of our elaborate plans, the end.
Of everything that stands, the end.
No safety or surprise, the end.
I'll never look into your eye(s) again.

Can you picture what will be,
So limitless an' free?
Desperately in need of some stranger's hand,
In a desperate land.

Instrumental break.

Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain.
An' all the children are insane.
All the children are insane.
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah.

There's danger on the edge of town.
Ride the king's highway, baby.
Weird scenes inside the gold mine.
Ride the highway west, baby.

Ride the snake, ride the snake,
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby.
The snake is long, seven miles,
Ride the snake,
He's old an' his skin is cold.

The west is the best.
The west is the best.
Get here, an' we'll do the rest.

The blue bus is callin' us.
The blue bus is callin' us.
Driver, where you takin' us?

Spoken:
The killer awoke before dawn,
He put his boots on.
He took a face from the ancient gallery.

He went into the room where his sister lived, an'
Then he, paid a visit to his brother,
An' then he, he walked on down the hall, an'
An' he came to a door, an' he looked inside.
"Father?" "Yes son?"
"I want to kill you.
Mother I want to fuck you."
C'mon, woah.

C'mon baby, take a chance with us.
C'mon baby, take a chance with us.
C'mon baby, take a chance with us.
An' meet me at the back of the blue bus.
Do'n' a blue rock on a blue bus.
Do'n' a blue rock, c'mon, yeah.

Instrumental break.

Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill.

This is the end, beautiful friend.
This is the end, my only friend, the end.

It hurts to set you free but you'll never follow me.
The end of laughter an' soft lies.
The end of nights we tried to die.

This is the end.

THE END
